Evli's initial public offering has been oversubscribed multiple times and the subscription period has been discontinued on November 23, 2015 at 4.00 PM

EVLI BANK PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE NOVEMBER 23, 2015, AT 4.00 PM

NOT FOR PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE USA, CANADA,
NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE OR SOUTH AFRICA, OR ANY
OTHER COUNTRY WHERE THE DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLISHING WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Evli Bank Plc's ("Evli" or "Company") initial public offering ("IPO") has been
oversubscribed multiple times, and the Company's Board of Directors has,
therefore, decided to discontinue the subscription period of both the
institutional offering and the public offering today on November 23, 2015 at
4.00 PM, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the IPO.

The subscription period of both the institutional offering and the public
offering for the Company's new series B shares offered in the IPO ("Offered
Shares") begun on November 16, 2015. The demand for the Offered Shares was very
strong both among the institutional investors and the investors participating in
the public offering.

Preliminarily a maximum of 1,800,000 Offered Shares will be offered in the
institutional offering for institutional investors in Finland and certain other
countries. Preliminarily a maximum of 300,000 Offered Shares will be offered in
the public offering for subscription by private individuals and institutions in
Finland. The Company will strive to approve subscription commitments given in
the IPO fully up to 100 Offered Shares per investor. For the portion exceeding
this, the Company will, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the IPO,
strive to distribute Offered Shares in the mutual ratio of the amounts of the
unfulfilled subscription commitments. However, the Company may take into account
the status of the party giving the subscription commitment as a client of the
Company and allocate more Offered Shares for such investors than to other
investors participating in the IPO.

The Company's Board of Directors will resolve on or about November 25, 2015 on
the division of the Offered Shares between the institutional offering and the
public offering and on the approval of subscription commitments and offers given
in the IPO. The results of the IPO are expected to be published on or about
November 25, 2015. The discontinuation of the subscription period does not
otherwise affect the schedule of the IPO. It is estimated that the Offered
Shares distributed in the IPO will be entered in the investors' book-entry
accounts on December 1, 2015. Trading is expected to commence on the official
list of the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd on or about December 2, 2015.

The lead manager of the IPO is Alexander Corporate Finance Oy and the Company's
legal advisor is Borenius Attorneys Ltd.

Specific judicial or legislative restrictions have been placed on the issue, use

Corporate Finance Oy are not liable if such restrictions are violated.

This release shall not be interpreted as an offer to sell or an invitation to
make an offer to purchase the securities mentioned herein, nor will securities
be sold in areas in which the offering, acquisition or sale of the securities in
question would be unlawful before their registry or exemption regarding the
obligation to register, or the gaining of other approval according to the

exception of Finland, no measures have been or will be made to conduct an offer

vary as a consequence of the implementation measures carried out in the member
states. The expression "Prospectus Directive" refers to Directive 2003/71/EC

has been implemented in the Relevant Member State), and it contains all the
relevant implementation measures in the Relevant Member State, and the
expression "2010 Amendment Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.
